Description
Tangerines
- Tangerines have an abundance of vitamin C. They also have a moderate amount of vitamin A. The peel contains a super-flavonoid, or antioxidant, called tangeretin. Having healthy levels of vitamin C in your body has been tied to having healthy skin. Vitamin C has been shown to play a vital role in how your body makes collagen. Collagen is what makes our skin appear youthful. Vitamin C has also been shown to possibly prevent and treat skin damage caused by sun exposure.
How to Use Tangerines
Tangerines make a great healthy dessert option thanks to their natural sweetness. They pair well with other fruits like peaches and apples, or as a standalone fruit topped with lightly sweetened yogurt.
Tangerine peel is a key ingredient of many Chinese dishes, such as tangerine beef.
